Roush tabs Reed full-time in Nationwide

CONCORD, N.C. -- Ryan Reed, the 20-year-old Bakersfield, Calif., native who has made three starts for Roush Fenway Racing in the NASCAR Nationwide Series this season, will compete full-time for the organization in 2014.

"It's a dream come true," Reed said. "To drive for Roush Fenway has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid watching Carl Edwards in the Truck Series. I realized how much Jack (Roush, co-owner) developed talent and how he helped develop the talent into the success they are today."

"I felt like at Richmond I was able to adapt well to the race track, I was able to race with guys like Jamie McMurray and Brian Vickers and I was able to race inside the top 10 in both races," he said.

"I went to Bristol and I had some work to do. We ran like 25th most of the night and I just struggled.

"There are going to be tracks that I go to that I feel like I adapt to well and then some other tracks that I'm going to have to do some work on. That's what's so great about having Jack behind me and supporting me. He understands the development process and will be right there by my side."

In addition to fielding three teams in NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series, Roush Fenway Racing fields two full-time entries in Nationwide for Trevor Bayne and Travis Pastrana.
